I have been thinking about it too, praying for a safe trip.

		 Well, maybe Lilith will get a chance to take her kiddo's after all.

Sucks that it was postponed, but at least they are playing it safe.

Imagine how embarassing it would be to have to send a tow truck up when it runs out of gas?

		 Lil, if they can't meter their usage of the fuel, they won't know when and if they are in  
 
danger of a burn fizzing early ( if the other three sensors fail). 
 
The sooner they get rid of the shuttles and go to a space-plane for the crew and  
 
rockets for the payloads the better.
